Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF OVERPOPULATION OF ANIMALS BY PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION, SHELTER, AND SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES FOR ANIMALS IN CALIFORNIA AND BEYOND.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF OVERPOPULATION OF ANIMALS BY PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION, SHELTER, AND SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES FOR ANIMALS IN CALIFORNIA.

  • Rescue/Transport program - Founded in 2011, Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team's (aka START Rescue) goal has been to reduce euthanasia rates of adoptable pets in the overcrowded shelters of Southern and Central California. These abused and neglected dogs and cats desperately need safe passage to less populated states where rescue agencies provide the rehabilitation and socialization necessary, and position them for adoption. We address this need by providing, at minimum, monthly transport/relocation (one of two flagship programs) for at-risk animals, linking overburdened shelters in California to STARTs fully vetted, contracted destination partners in the Pacific Northwest where there is both capacity and demand. In 2022, START relocated/transported 1,094 adoptable pets who have since found wonderful homes, and since START was founded, more than 16,306 animals have been rescued, transported and relocated through this program.

    Expenses $632,487

  • Spay/Neuter program - Our second flagship program provides spay/neuter services for underserved California communities such as Bakersfield, San Bernardino, Riverside, Lancaster, Palmdale, Delano, Porterville and surrounding areas of Tulare County. These areas have large numbers of stray and neglected dogs and cats along with very high shelter intake. It is especially important for us to build strong relationships with low-income spay/neuter neighbors in target zip code California locations. Since it was founded, START has provided over 12,000 spay/neuter procedures in underserved areas and to low-income senior citizens.

    Expenses $82,775

  • START was named "2022 Top-Rated" by GreatNonprofits, and was awarded Guidestar's "Platinum Seal of Transparency.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
